"The property is not as presented. The house I stayed in was utilitarian at best. There were no amenities and the pool is off property.
That being said, there was hot water and the bed was comfortable. When I checked in the host said “It’s not the Sheraton” and I agree. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it. "

"A great hotel in an excellent location, easy to access by car (free parking for the hotel guests in the barrier-equipped parking right in front of the hotel) and a short walk from countless restaurants, bars, and shops in the center of Olhao. The view over the pool area and yacht harbor to the Ria Formosa national park and barrier islands is wonderful, the staff is helpful, the decor is nice and modern with a classic touch, and the breakfast is superb! Will definitely stay here again when next...

This Hotel is a family run business with a focus on hospitality and friendliness.
The room was adequate for what we wanted but was old fashioned with a small balcony.
Everything else about this hotel was exceptional, the pool area, the breakfast, the cuisine all 5 star.
Then you walk out of the pool area into the very well kept gardens and the ponds. Within the ponds you find an array of friendly turtles, if you remember to take a few slices of bread from the breakfast table these turtles...

Lovely stay with all the comforts but there was a mix up as we went to check out, i went to settle a bar bill and was presented with a full bill for the accommodation as well as the bar bill. The accommodation had previously been paid at the time of booking.

This was one of those places that is a pleasant surprise, not because of anything major, but because everything is done well, and without fuss or annoyance. The staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive or overbearing, the hotel is clean and well maintained in both private and public areas. The food is good and the location is convenient for both local facilities and travel further afield.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The staff are lovely. The room was right sized and clean. Every part of the common areas was also very clean.
The breakfast was also very good with a wide range only options
The only bit of a small bother was the location which is a bit away from the main attractions. But the hotel provides a pick up and drop option. Although you are best off if you have your own car

Perfect spot to stay in the centre of São Bras de Alportel, with easy parking to then explore on foot. A range of restaurants and cafés, plus a local supermarket and Pingo Doce if you want to take a snack back to your room, to eat on your balcony.
Staff were friendly and very helpful.
Hotel is traditional, but has modern air con with a lift for all floors. The rooms are well kept and very clean, with a mini fridge and flat screen TV.
Thank you Monica and the Breakfast chef for a lovely stay.

Friendly staff. Excellent location. Good views of Tavira. Historical sites within walking distance. The pick up point for the boat trip is within 20 metres of the hotel. Plenty of variety at breakfast including scrambled eggs and bacon. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Well laid out resort with 4 swimming pools, restaurant and cocktail bar. A mini market at the beginning of the resort, well stocked with all your holidays needs.The appartment was very comfortable, very clean and sheets and towels changed on a regular basis. The resort is about a 20 minute flat walk into Tavira town, but not a very pleasant walk as there is a pavement only part of the way and some rough ground. There are local buses but don't run very regularly. We used taxis most of the time...

We had an excellent twelve days. Staff could not have been more helpful; including giving guidance on how to travel by coach/bus to Vilamoura, I was grateful for the attention to detail - even printing off the timetable for me, and discussing the practicalities.

We were given a river view room with a lovely aspect overlooking the ferry and boats on the river. There was plenty of variety at breakfast and great to sit outside in the sunshine.
